I am using the zrok sdk.to create an app, to reduce the support I want to start the app without installing zrok and run the zrok enable command? ---

Hi @c4model, welcome to the community and to zrok (and OpenZiti/BrowZer)! Exciting! What SDK are you using? I'd expect there to be a corresponding `enable` function that you could run but I'm not intimate with these sdks so maybe it's not there yet. Let us know what SDK you're using and we'll try to help. ---

Hi @TheLumberjack, I am trying to use the golang sdk. I first need to get the root environment `root, err := environment.LoadRoot()` before I can start a .NewListener to create an endpoint. Can I skip the LoadRoot and pass in the auth token directly into the .NewListener? ---

Hey... No, you can't currently skip the `LoadRoot` call as there is a Ziti identity involved in addition to the account token. There is currently a backlog item to add the `enable` capability to the SDK directly: > > > Add a declarative function that enables the zrok env unless already enabled and …returns the enabled root context. > > This is the Go SDK counterpart to the Py SDK feature: https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/509 However, in the meantime, if you're feeling adventurous, you could look at what the `zrok enable` command does and use the same calls directly in your code (assuming you're using golang). The same calls will be put behind a facade in the SDK when the above issue is implemented. ---

Hi @michael.quigley, right now the if I use sdk, I need to first install zrok and run the zrok enable command, right? I will take a look on the `zrok enable` command does. ---

No. Not at all. If you borrow the code from the `zrok enable` command: > ...you will be able to do everything in your application without installing the `zrok` command. ---

Thanks for the info @michael.quigley
